I am on wndows 8, I have installed Wamp server in it. I unpacked the wordpress 3.9.1 edition in C:\wamp\www. I was following this guideline http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/installing-wordpress-locally/installing-from-a-zip-file/
I created database in phpmyadmin. Name wp_abc , I have`nt set any password or username for database. So during the installation of WordPress I
Database Name wp_abc
User Name admin
Password "blank" (i did not write Blank I left it)
Database Host localhost
Table Prefix wp_
And I clicked submit . Than that Error came.
Can’t select database
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wp_projcs database.
Are you sure it exists?
Does the user admin have permission to use the wp_projcs database?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wp_abc. Could that be the problem?
If you don't know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.
